Synopsis

Following the death of his son, Ali returns to the town he left years ago. There, he is left with only a few belongings of the boy he never knew — a wallet, a photograph, and a cell phone. Using the contacts stored in the phone, Ali begins to trace his son’s life, speaking with the people who once knew him. Like a detective, he pieces together fragments of his son’s world in a quiet effort to finally understand him.
